Liam's Nova X16XE Project

[Spudly]

Cheers guys!

And Spudly, I've heard about them stories before so when I bought the scuttle cover I also bought some terminal covers! Cheers for letting me know anyway.

Good skills, the last thing you want after all your hard graft is fire rats eating it overnight or something like that

Very nice mate and at the underside of the seat "B O L T"

Love the steering wheel and i think the red pin stripe looks spot on!

[Southie]

Really impressed with what you've done to this Liam, the dials looks brilliant and the scuttle panels always make the bay that bit more tidy.

Have some + rep for doing a cracking job

Absolutely stunning - love the flocking!

Cheers for the positive comments guys, it really does mean that all the hard work is rewarded in a way!

Anyway, I was down the bodyshop last week getting my wheels painted and prepping them for paint. Here's some pictures of the process:












Once they were painted I thought they looked VERY nice but once fitted I lost all heart with them/the car! I really thought that they would suit but they really don't.

Now, because of this I really don't know which way to go wheel wise. I like the RFX's but I don't 'love' them, the 15" MO's didn't look right (I think it was the colour) and now the OZ's don't look right either.

I don't know whether to sell the OZ's on and get some more MO's. The other day I thought about 14's but they just aren't big enough. I need some help ideally



Enough about stupid gay wheels now and onto something more exciting, sort of . As above in my previous update, i've started ordering some silicone hoses. Luckily Roose sell hoses seperately so I can get the mix of Nova and Corsa hoses and also ordering seperately it feels cheaper!

So, firstly I ordered a Nova bottom hose and generic hoses for the header tank/inlet manifold etc. Over the next couple of weeks i'll order the rest and get them fitted once i've got them all.

I reckon you should get the wheels repainted white, i reckon that would look really good on your car, maybe get the decals replaced in red to match the car?

[Iain]

I think they suit it! Did you not trial fit them in white? Any pics?

Good work with the wheels mate, just noticed you have changed the single wiper to a normal two wiper set up on the front, how comes you've done that?
